Just got back from a great trip down to Gulf Shores, AL with my family. It was so nice to be back in the south and in the heat! Nothing beats the beaches of the Gulf Coast. We had such a wonderful time, in all there was a total of 30 of us! My whole family with all their kids were there along with my brother-in-law, Tom’s entire family. 13 kids in all ranging from 17-4 in age, they all play so great together and are never bored. Sunday night we had a great luau on the beach for Father’s Day and stayed out there until about 10:30. We all wear our tropical attire, everyone makes a dish and we set up shop right on the beach. Rest of the days we soaked up as much sun as possible, drank a few Coronas, played in the ocean and pool, made lots of dinners, did a little shopping with the sisters, and Mike went fishing with Dad one morning. I really think at some point in our lives we will own a house on the beach, it feeds my soul like hiking feeds Mike’s soul…I guess we will have a house in Montana and one in Destin. Here are a few pictures from the trip. Oh and we of course had Chick-Fil-A a few times.
